Question

What is the equation of the directx for the following parabola -8(x-5)=(y+1)^2

Answer 1

Answer:

x=7

Step-by-step explanation:

The directrix of a parabola is the vertical line found by subtracting

p from the x-coordinate h

of the vertex if the parabola opens left or right.

x=h-p

Substitute the known values of

p and h

into the formula and simplify.

x=7
